"The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History has a long tradition of documenting the full breadth of the American experience and what it means to be an American. The [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] LGBT narrative is an important part of that American story . . . It is a tale of struggle and accomplishment as the nation strives to fulfill its ideals. . . . our mission [is] to help the public understand the past in order to make sense of the present and shape a more humane future."For background, read ObamaNation: Homosexual Victory 'Pride Parades' and Building Alters of Worship to Sexual Deviancy

From "Smithsonian Adds LGBT History to Museum Collection" by Brett Zongker, Associated Press 8/19/14
[Will and Grace] creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick along with NBC are donating objects to the National Museum of American History. . . . Kohan told The Associated Press the Smithsonian's interest in the show featuring gay principal characters was a validation they never dreamed about when the sitcom began airing in 1998.
"These particular guests that were invited into people's living rooms happened to be your gay friends," Kohan said. "I don't think people really had the opportunity to have that before, and it served to, I think, make people recognize that your close friends were gay."
The donation is part of larger effort to document gay and lesbian history, an area that has not been well understood at the museum. Curators are collecting materials from LGBT political, sports and cultural history objects from Arizona to Maryland.

Officials at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History will accept the archival materials from the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Baltimore (GLCCB), and add them to its growing collection of items documenting LGBT history. . . .

Its LGBT collection has been displayed to commemorate various occasions, including anniversaries of the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City against police harassment, which are widely considered to be a jumping-off point for broader gay rights activism in the country.
. . . David Huebner and his spouse Duane McWaine will be in attendance [at the ceremony]. Huebner is the former U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa and was the first openly gay ambassador in the Obama administration. The couple are donating their diplomatic passports and other items to the museum's collection.
